Iranians watched and waited for most of Thursday for the results of days of negotiations in Switzerland over the country's nuclear program.

When world powers (known as the P5+1) and Iran announced that they had agreed on the parameters of a deal, the celebrations soon began.

Iranians texting and tweeting Congrats to each other, quoting famous song "Winter is over." A national sigh of relief! #IranDeal #Iran
While large-scale gatherings were slow to appear on social media, smaller celebrations quickly started popping up.

Celebratory honking ensued.
And was posted to Twitter, even though it is, like other social media, banned in the country.

Iranians watched the Lausanne press conference announcing details of the Iran deal progress and posted pictures. (Though the cake here is meant to celebrate this user's father's birthday, not the nuclear announcement.)
@bbcshoma امشب هم زمان با تفاهم هسته اي ما تولد هم داريم 😆😆👏👏
And for the first time anyone can remember, Iran's state media carried President Obama's speech in the Rose Garden live, with instant translation into Farsi.
Short video of Obama's statement on #IranTalks, live broadcasted on Iran state TV, seems unprecedented
بی سابقه: پخش زنده سخنرانی باراک اوباما درباره تفاهم هسته ای در لوزان در تلویزیون دولتی #ایران
#barackobama: #Iran and #USA achieved nuke deal#irannucleardeal
This led to some Iranians taking selfies with their screens of the historic broadcast.
#سلفی با #اوباما
Friend of mine in #Iran pinching #Obama's cheek out of sheer joy #IranTalks
Happy Iranians are taking #selfie with @BarackObama right now #IranTalksLausanne #iranwithnosanctions ”
Though, of course, some were more excited than others.
Hosein from Iran is really happy today! #IranTalksLausanne @JohnKerry
